EVA is truly a God-send and safe haven for families. How Ms. Thompson has managed to be so effective with my children, with three completely different learning modalities, has me in awe. The knowledge, paired with mindfulness and inclusion, has transformed my children's confidence in so many ways when it comes to learning and expressing themselves. At EVA, independent thought is encouraged as they are taken beyond the text. The way Ms. Thompson nurtures the students and their gifts is unmatched. Even in challenging them, she nurtures in a way that allows them to keep their dignity. She doesn't break their spirit but strengthens them. The complete 180° I've seen in my children's attitudes is amazing. I don't have to say a word, they are up and ready for class everyday, and that speaks volumes. I am eternally grateful for the opportunity to be a part of the EVA community.
